ok... im only new to linux, but anyway. i used this configuration to install mysql from src.
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql \
--localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data \
--with-unix-sock-path=/tmp/mysql.sock \
--with-charset=utf8
make
make install
all appeared to go well. no errors. but then, when i tried to run this;
/usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
i am told no such file or directory.
so i went to /usr/local and there is no mysql directory. any ideas where mysql might have gone?
